Sophos, a world leader in corporate anti-virus protection, today
announced that it has been selected by Domino's Pizza Group, the UK
and Irish master franchisee of the world's leading pizza delivery
company, to defend almost 240 stores against malicious code.
Sophos Anti-Virus will be protecting Domino's Pizza Group's
network against more than 70,000 computer viruses, Trojans and
worms. This deal forms part of a contract won by ISC Networks, one
of the UK's largest value added resellers and Sophos channel
partner.
"After rigorous testing, we found that Sophos offered the
complete solution - an efficient product combined with excellent
technical support," said Ian Foxley, IT Director at Domino's Pizza
Group. "Our network holds a great deal of valuable data, all of
which is vital to the day-to-day running of the business. It is
essential that we protect this information - Sophos Anti-Virus is
helping us to do that."
"As one of ISC's preferred partners on security projects, we
were confident that Sophos's solution best suited Domino Pizza's
needs," said Bruce Hallas, Security Business Development Manager.
"Key considerations when recommending a security partner include
quality of the product and support services - particularly the
promptness of updates. ISC found Sophos Anti-Virus met all these
requirements."
"In an increasingly connected world, security solutions must
offer the highest levels of protection possible," said David
Stanley, head of UK sales at Sophos Anti-Virus. "Not only are
viruses capable of destroying critical data, but they can also
compromise company credibility and confidentiality. We are
delighted that Domino's Pizza has chosen Sophos Anti-Virus to
negate that risk."
